MX Siting Investigation. Faults and Lineaments in the MX Siting Region, Nevada and Utah. Volume I.

Abstract

Results of the fault study in Nevada and Utah show that all valleys in the MX deployment area have faults that have been active in Quaternary time. Earthquakes in the 7-7 3/4 magnitude have occurred in the study area during late Quaternary time. Quaternary faults trend North-South and are parallel to the regional Great Basin structural fabric.
